Today we are reviewing the Epluto 7g from Pure EV. This scooter is high power and high-speed scooter. Pure EV has also a model Epluto that was a low powered scooter. Here we will come with all the things regarding this scooter with real range power test results.
Looks
If we talk about the looks of the Epluto 7g, it looks like a retro scooter. It has a classic stance, from the front it really looks like some old ’80s and 90’s scooters. The headlight is LED with thick chrome bezels.
You can also see the blinkers with daytime running lights and on the mudguard, some more use of chrome is looking really nice. The 10 inches alloy wheel with a machine cut finish really adds to the overall looks.
The curves given in the side profile of this electric scooter is really nice, Epluto 7G is written with a half oval style strip.
In the back, you can see a handsome looking blinker with the taillight. The big grab handle with a black powder-coated finish does its job well.
Ride and Comfort
Epluto 7G gives a good quality ride, you can feel the initial punch when you accelerate the scooter initially. Epluto 7G provides a well-balanced ride. Seats are quite comfortable and well-cushioned and can easily accommodate two people.
This electric scooter comes with telescopic suspensions. These suspensions are working great if we compare these with old Epluto it these works really well but when taking your scooter to uneven surfaces of bad patches of road, you feel a little discomfort because the suspensions are on the stiffer side.
The floorboard of the Epluto is a little bit on the upper side, if your height is more than average Indian height you might not feel this scooter much comfortable.
Space
In this Pure EV, Epluto 7G doesn’t have much space, still, you can carry your daily usage things easily. In the front you will get a glove box which has two pockets inside it, this glove box is removable and lockable.
You get a good amount of legroom where you can easily place your luggage or bags. The under-seat storage is not that good because this electric scooter is a high powered scooter so it has a big sized battery and this battery occupies a lot of space still you get space in the corners.
